California Dreaming on a Winter’s Day in Big Sur

Love has a way of finding us when the time is right. For Robby and Niki, their love didn’t start with a thunderbolt moment, but rather as a slow-growing bond. They met years ago in high school, and while their paths crossed many times, the seeds of love had not yet taken root. But over time, their connection deepened, and together, they built a foundation of trust, acceptance, and care.

Before their ceremony unfolded, before the eyes of their loved ones turned toward them in anticipation, Robby and Niki shared an intimate moment together. In a private room overlooking the endless sea and sky, they spoke their vows to one another. No witnesses, no sound but their hearts beating as one and the background music created by the waves and sea lions far below. In that quiet space, vows were made — personal, profound — forming the truest foundation for the life ahead.

Then, hand in hand, they walked a flower-lined path to stand on the cliffs above the Pacific, where their family and friends waited. Beneath the blue winter sky, with the ocean as their backdrop, they said their “I do’s.” It was a warm, golden afternoon at Wind and Sea in Big Sur — the kind of day that feels like a true blessing.

And so, California dreaming turned into reality on that winter’s day — when Niki and Robby became Mr. and Mrs., in a place and a way that felt entirely their own.
